Sid Meier's Colonization
Description
Discover the New World and fulfill your Manifest Destiny!
The New World lies before you with all its peril, promise, and infinite possibility: your colonists anxiously follow you to shore and the treasures of an entire continent await you. But beware of your enemies! Angry natives and rival powers can encroach upon your territory. You'll have to overcome your foes with superior military strategy and wily diplomacy. Only then can you launch your revolution and declare your independence.
Players control either English, French, Dutch, or Spanish colonists in the New World. This New World can be the historically accurate Americas (North and South) or a randomly generated world with varying resources and challenges. Overseeing economic, military, and political growth, you strive to establish independence from the mother country while competing with other colonies for control of the New World.
Plant a foothold in the New World and establish your independence in Sid Meier’s Colonization!

Gem of the past
I have known about this game since it came out in the 1990's and still play it to this day. While it may not have the modern graphics of today, it as the ability to be replayed over and over again. Every new game will have machanics the stay the same, while at the same time allowing the player to construct a different map of the new world enables a different experience every time. If you are looking for a fun, nonconfusing game to kill some time, give this one a try.
